Yeah, a weapon that uses the latest nano-composite coating for its barrel and every possible production and ergonomic improvement imaginable is "cheapo junk". I expect an MOA of about 2 in its standard configuration and less than one with a higher caliber round and extended barrel. That's not exactly "spray and pray" material.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5184693decad04ae1f000001HahahaFri, 03 May 2013 21:49:49 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5184693decad04ae1f000001
"Haha, I am assuming you are being sarcastic "
No, I am dead serious.
How can the population defend itself without any access to heavy weapons?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5183f5f5eab8ea4d5c000003derpderpFri, 03 May 2013 13:37:57 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5183f5f5eab8ea4d5c000003
coming soon to Call of Duty:Ghosts?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5183c4006bb3f7d963000001katmandoo122Fri, 03 May 2013 10:04:48 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5183c4006bb3f7d963000001
While the typical user of an AK was unskilled and of little danger to a knowledgeable opponent due to the common propensity to spray and pray, I would never call the AK47 junk. It was - and is - the most successful assault rifle - perhaps rifle at all - ever produced.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5183c0406bb3f7465400001bjimmy mactheknifeFri, 03 May 2013 09:48:48 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5183c0406bb3f7465400001b
STILL concentrating on the spray and pray method of warfare. Hope they produce plenty of ammo to go along with this cheapo junk. I can see why they have adapted to the 60 and 100 round mags.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5183be50eab8eaee58000006MahhnFri, 03 May 2013 09:40:32 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5183be50eab8eaee58000006
FYI, most of the military in the US are now civilians, and I have seen many discussions of active duty that are ready to turn on the politicians if ever ordered to attack civilians. Which may be why DHS is being armed. Make no mistake the "people" Active duty and civilians) will stand together if the situation ever goes that far.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5183359fecad043852000043John89Thu, 02 May 2013 23:57:19 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5183359fecad043852000043
"Finally, good news for the civilian collectors out there: Remington will be producing their own version of the AK-12"
Can I get a citation on this? This is the only place I've heard this.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5183277769bedd274e000003Jack BurtonThu, 02 May 2013 22:56:55 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5183277769bedd274e000003
AK-47 had one great quality. It worked. Rain or shine, mud or sand, rust or ungreased. It fired. In old style battle fields where men stayed in the field in all weather and conditions this rifle was invaluable.
In the modern occupation wars, where troops have big nice safe bases from which to drive or fly out for a few hours and return home at the end of the day? Then all sorts of high tech. combat rifles are great.
Russians always built weapons with the idea that the soldier in combat didn't have time for careful care of weapons. They wanted the weapon to work and they wanted them in high numbers. Expecting and calculating the life span of weapons on a battle field.
I wonder if war will ever return to the extended combat in the field. The US occupation wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are different than US troops in the field in Vietnam. In that case, the US weapons often failed the grade. While VC with AK-47's could pretty much expect no matter what you pull the trigger, the sucker fires. Very important in the field.
I'de love to test fire this new Russian weapon. I love to shoot AK's. I love to own AK's. I think it pisses off the police state pricks. First that a civilian has an assault rifle and even worse that is is Russian made.
Problem with today's America is that entirely TOO many people make their living and pensions off of police state activities. Just list the agencies and look at their staffing! Seems half of America is now paid to spy on, watch over and stick a gun in the face of the other half. Watch 'em search 88 year old white haired grandma's at the airports. No American woman who has worked and paid taxes and grown old after raising a family should be subjected to humiliation by the zealous over paid Security Forces. They pat down granny's while Chechen terrorists walk around with pressure cooker bombs blowing up marathon viewers in Boston after Russia called FBI and CIA TWICE to warn them about these clowns. What does overpaid American police state do? Nothing, they are too busy checking patriotic senior citizen grannies at the airport. How stupid is that?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/518323dbecad04283d000002macksey7Thu, 02 May 2013 22:41:31 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/518323dbecad04283d000002
i am sure it will be just as successful as the AN-94, most gun enthusiast will know what that meanshttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/51831369ecad042817000042AnthonyThu, 02 May 2013 21:31:21 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51831369ecad042817000042
Did you really have to make some childish anti-gun post that has nothing to do with what the article is about?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/518312e76bb3f7611500000dHahahaThu, 02 May 2013 21:29:11 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/518312e76bb3f7611500000d
What is truly outrageous is that americans will not be able to buy some fully automatic version to defend themselves against tyranny.
Along with automatic grenade launcher, antitank missiles and claymore mines.
No wonder tyranny is winning.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5182de2169bedd6c23000004Hilmi AdiThu, 02 May 2013 17:44:01 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5182de2169bedd6c23000004
Don't fix it if it aint broken.
They tried and now it's truly broken.
Izhmash (the manufacturer) must realize that overabundance of AK-47 in the market would meant that their AK-12 would sell in limited number. Also putting model number lower than the old rifle is dumb (i know it referred to the year they design is *eg AK-47 *1947* AK-74 *1974* so AK-12 *2012*? It should be AK-112 XD
